Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. The Ice Association has already booked a flight back home for me."

After that kiss, Alek kissed Qing Yue's forehead again.He first kissed the snow-covered hair, making the cool snow turn into water under the temperature between his lips, and through the soft hair, Qing felt more and more what the other party expressed to him... Wei There is a love that has changed because of this disappointment in the game.

Alek's words made Qing Yue's eyes widen in a daze.It seemed to him...that suddenly.Obviously... They just finished skating the last part of the Olympic competition late at night today, didn't they?But... why did Alek go back to the country alone when many people were having a carnival at the celebration banquet, and no one knew about it?

If I hadn't called Alek today, would he have just returned home without saying a word...?

"Come on, be happy, you are the Olympic runner-up tonight."

"me……"

"Are you going to take me to the airport?"

As if he didn't want Qing Yue to continue this topic, Alek kissed his eyelashes again, asked softly, and got Qing Yue's answer without hesitation: "Of course!"

In this way, Alek looked at Qingyue and couldn't help laughing: "But the flight I'm going to take is at 05:30 in the morning. So, I will arrive at the airport at [-]:[-] in the morning. You are exhausted today Well, can you get up tomorrow?"

"Then I won't sleep at all! Let's go to the airport and wait for the sunrise!"

"Wait for the sunrise together? That seems like a good idea."

Not expecting to hear such a proposal from Qingyue, Alek said with a smile after thinking for a long time in a daze.The hair that was always neatly combed in the past, revealing a string of rigor, is now messed up by Qing Yue. After being blown in the cold wind, it has a messy beauty, which almost makes Qing Yue feel uneasy. Can't take my eyes off.

While many people were going to attend the celebration banquet held for them by the national ice associations, today's biggest loser and the world's ice are new top figures walking on the cold wind-ravaged streets.The street lamps on the side of the street stretched their shadows long.The two of them were not as usual in front of people, even if they were just walking on the road, they had to keep a distance between them.

When there was a gust of cold wind that made Qingyue tremble for a while, Alek suddenly grabbed his hand, took off the glove of Qingyue's left hand, and kissed the back of his hand, and then Taking off all the gloves that were not thick, Ling Qingyue put his hand into his right hand glove, so that both hands were blocked from the cold outside by the same glove.

Alek's fiery palms intertwined with Qingyue's cold fingers in the glove, and then slowly tightened, with a kind of... unspeakable warmth emerging from the bottom of his heart.With such warmth, it seems that even the heavy snow that is flying all over the sky will not be afraid...

Alek's luggage was fairly simple.Even for two weeks in the midst of the Olympics.And, if there were no accidents, he should have stayed here for a longer time, but he still didn't bring any extra luggage.

Therefore, the process of returning to the room to clean up is relatively short.However, it was so simple, Qing Yue still insisted on helping Alek clean up together.Even... just hand Alek's towel to him.

"Father will not go back to China with me tomorrow. Another player from our country, Hamel, won No.5 in this Olympic Games. The Ice Association believes that he has done a good job and is a rookie worthy of training." .So...they want to make Dad become Hamel's coach. Therefore, Dad should go back with Hamil when he returns to Jiaguo."

Alec pressed his knees against the suitcase, pressing it down, and slowly closed the zipper at the same time.He said this sentence without any emotional ups and downs, making Qing Yue look at him in surprise.

"Aren't you... not angry?"

"Angry? No, of course not. I mean, why should I be angry about it?"

"The Ice Association wants to help others take away your father and take away your coach. Don't you...shouldn't be angry because of this?"

Hearing Qing Yue's words, Alek couldn't help raising his head to look at him.After a daze, he realized where Qing Yue's emotions came from.

"Qingyue, in fact, in today's ice world, it is very normal for a coach to coach many world-class players at the same time. Father is the best figure skating coach in Jia country. Men's singles players, he even taught women's singles and pair skaters in Jiaguo.

Even for Frere, his coach taught him more than just one player.His coach was not from Plandon.Therefore, before each season, he will go to other countries to receive training with other players.It's the same with Koness, and it's the same with Chu Xuan from Xishu, isn't it? "

Alek's words made Qingyue recall this fact that he always ignored.Only then did I realize... how special I am in the entire ice altar....

His coach, Na Xiu, discovered him first-hand, and he only concentrated on teaching himself one while taking into account the business situation of NX company.Other figure skaters have to go to the ice rink specially prepared for athletes to rent ice time, but he is alone occupying an ice rink with complete equipment, and even... In the first few years, there was no one at home. The wealthy Qing Yue never paid Naxiu for his time on the ice.

Even now, Qing Yue only gave Naxiu one-third of the income he earned through commercial endorsement, commercial shooting, etc., and thus invited a... coach.

After thinking about all these together, Qing Yue realized how lucky he was.However... even when he was so lucky... he would still sit in the locker room and wait for his appearance because Koness asked Naxiu to watch the long program he was skating before the long program started. And feel...subtle jealousy.

It's a terrible habit.

I don't know when it started... Qingyue has gotten used to the life with Naxiu.He still clearly remembered that one day long ago, Naxiu solemnly found his family and told his mother that her son really had a special talent in figure skating that ordinary people did not possess.It seemed... from that day on, Naxiu had become a part of his life.

"Naxiu...Naxiu is his coach, but it's not just as simple as a coach."

After being lost in thought for a long time, Qing Yue said these words in a deep voice, which made Alek pause and say: "Yes, anyone can see it. Between you, there is a kind of... A special bond. Stronger than the one between me and my father, even if not by blood."

Alec's memory sinks into the distant past.With a small amount of luggage, he took a taxi with Qing Yue to the airport [-] kilometers away from the city.Watching Wanjia's lights gradually go out, the whole city fell into sleepy silence, leaving only the road sign-like streetlights to see him off, making him gradually walk away along the road leaving the city.

When I arrived at the airport, there were not many passengers staying in the place that was extremely busy during the day.Therefore, Alek asked the airport staff for two blankets, and after buying two steaming cups of coffee, he pushed the luggage cart and Qing Yue together to find a seat facing the floor-to-ceiling glass, and the two sat together. down.

After Alek tidied up Qingyue's blanket carefully, he held Qingyue's hand from under the blanket, allowing the two of them to share their body temperature with each other, and also made... the strength that belonged to each other make them feel... I feel more at ease.

The lights in the airport lobby are adjusted to be very weak, so as not to irritate the eyes of the sleeping passengers.However, Qingyue and Alek looked at the dark night outside the glass together without a trace of tiredness.

"I was on the ice when I was two years old or earlier. I can't even remember exactly what it was like. Just know... I've been around huge blocks of ice every day for as long as I can remember. As As a figure skater, he's great. As a coach, he's just as good.

Father had trained three Olympic champions.I can always see talented players who were taught by my father.For as long as I can remember, I've watched those players go from juniors to seniors and then retire.And now, it's my turn to complete the process. "

Hearing this, Qing Yue suddenly looked back at Alek.In this darkness, there was a firm light in his eyes, just like the Alek that Qingyue knew.His expression did not change at all, but Qing Yue hurriedly said: "But...but you are only 22 years old!"

When that sentence came out, Alek held him all the time, Qingyue's hand pulled him into his arms, and when Qingyue struggled instinctively, he used the arm of the other hand to hold him The confinement made him unable to break free from his embrace.

Alek hugged Qingyue so tightly that he couldn't leave him.Then...he kept saying in his ear: "Listen to me...listen to me, Qingyue. Jiaguo is different from Xishu. As long as you pay attention to the annual World Youth Championships, you will know that Xishu won the championship in five years. It is impossible to surpass you and Chu Xuan within a year. But our country is different. I am no longer worth to the Ice Association. What they need now is not a medal from the World Championships, but Olympic medals. Do you... understand?"

"You're worthless to them, so you don't plan on skating? Bastard! You're not skating for the Ice Association! You're skating for yourself! You train eight hours a day for so many years, don't you? All this is just for the damn ice association! For them, as long as someone gets the card, it doesn’t matter who gets the card! Don’t tell me...you think so too?”
